On the list is Chase Brown. The Illini running back has been outstanding this season rushing for 1,059 yards and 4 touchdowns. Brown has helped Illinois to a somewhat surprising 6-1 start in the B1G West.
A marquee name on the list is C.J. Stroud. The Ohio State quarterback has led a prolific Buckeye offense to a 7-0 start. Stroud has thrown for 2,023 yards and 28 touchdowns to 4 interceptions. Moreover, he is first in the nation in touchdown passes and first in quarterback rating (92.6).
One of the most prolific players in the country is Blake Corum. The Michigan running back has rushed for 901 yards (6.2 avg) and 13 touchdowns. Corum has rushed for 124 yards or more in each of his past four games.
We’ll see how this list evolves into November. So far, so good for the B1G.
